“I maintain a consulting practice in Los Angeles, doing ongoing work with individuals and couples. I also help clients who live outside my locale via Skype video-conferencing. In addition, I specialize in short-term therapy and/or sex therapy Intensives for couples.”
A couple’s Intensive is a bit like a private workshop for just the two of you. It’s designed to be focused and directive, enabling radical shifts in self-awareness, knowledge and perspective in a relatively brief period of time. Intensives may also include what is known as “sex coaching,” or “intimacy mentoring,” but can also go more deeply into issues that only a trained psychotherapist is equipped to explore with you.
I have been in practice for over twenty years as an individual psychotherapist, a relationship therapist, a sex therapist and coach. I am experienced and comfortable working with all forms of personal, relational and sexual styles—from traditional to alternative. Everyone is welcome in my practice and labels need not apply. My style is warm, open, and direct. A close colleague once said that she refers people to me because I am both “compassionate and tough.” I probably would have said “straightforward”—but, either way, the description fits.
In addition to the aforementioned expertise, I have special knowledge and experience working with people in the creative and entertainment arts, those in the financial world (including traders and other risk-managers), and military or ex-military individuals and couples.
